Keeping endlinks tight?

Any advice on keeping my end links tight? Recently put on Hks coilovers and their end links and haven’t been able to keep the bottom nut tight, torqued to spec, next I’m thinking blue loctite or double nutting?

What is the symptom of a loose end link? Any weird sounds, or can you just feel the different in handling?

Loud clunks in the front when hitting bumps or turning.
Ah i was slinging my car around a turn the other day (pretty close to the limit of the car) and I heard/felt a loud clunk in the front suspension, felt/heard like it came from the front passenger side. It hasn't happened since, but I also haven't drove it that hard since. Maybe I should check to see if my endlinks are tight
are you on aftermarket suspension? When it happened to me, once it loosened on my car, I would hear it very regularly just driving down the road, or going over small speed bumps/potholes.
I have RSR down lowering springs and SPC camber bolts on the car, but those are the only things about the suspension that are aftermarket. I've only ever heard it twice. First time was as described (lowering springs and spc bolts were installed at the time), second time was at full lock in a parking lot that was on a hill where I was moving faster than I should have been (wasn't doing donuts, was just late for work and trying to get parked quickly) (also stock suspension at the time). The first one mentioned was much louder. But I don't hear it when regularly driving or when going over small bumps. It's so intermittent that I haven't worried about it tbh
